    Ishmael Jones kann es sich nicht leisten aufzufallen. Er lebt unter dem Radar, bewegt sich auf der dunklen Seite der Straße. Sein Job ist es, Geheimnisse aufzudecken und Licht in dunkle Ecken zu bringen. Manchmal tötet er auch. Als ihn sein Auftraggeber, der mysteriöse Colonel, zum Weihnachtsfest mit dessen Familie auf dem abgeschiedenen Anwesen Belcourt Manor einlädt, trifft Ishmael inmitten eines Schneesturms ein, nur um festzustellen, dass sein Boss verschwunden ist. Während der Befragung der anderen Gäste kommt Ishmael zu dem Schluss, dass viele von ihnen wie er selbst dunkle Geheimnisse hüten und dass unter der Fassade festlicher Freude Leidenschaft, Eifersucht, Missgunst und Verrat lauern. Als ein weiterer Sturm aufzieht, der das Anwesen vom Rest der Welt abschottet, muss Ishmael schnellstens einen skrupellosen Mörder überführen, ehe dieser ein weiteres Mal zuschlagen kann. Der erste Band der Ishmael Jones-Reihe von Simon R. Green!
